SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:January Water@Michigan Coffee Talk
DESCRIPTION:Talk Description: Pumped Hydro Energy Storage Potential in the Great Lakes \n\nAs Michigan advances toward a clean-energy future\, energy storage has become increasingly essential for ensuring the reliability and resilience of the state’s power system. The Great Lakes region\, with its extensive shoreline and favorable topography\, offers significant potential for pumped hydro energy storage (PHS). Beyond providing large-scale\, long-duration storage\, PHS also presents opportunities for energy integration with emerging offshore wind development in the lakes.\n\nAt the same time\, the history of the Ludington PHS facility has shown that large water-based infrastructure projects can raise important questions regarding the commercial use of Great Lakes water resources. As interest grows in exploring new PHS concepts in the region\, it is crucial to examine the environmental implications—particularly ecological and fishery impacts—and to consider how such projects intersect with public trust\, governance\, and social acceptance.\n\nThis panel brings together experts in engineering\, ecology\, and policy to discuss the technical feasibility\, environmental considerations\, and societal dimensions of pumped hydro development in the Great Lakes. The session aims to foster an informed\, multidisciplinary conversation about the future of water-energy systems in our region.\n\nAbout the Speakers: \nModerator: Marc Gaden\, Adjunct Assistant Professor\, SEAS and Executive Secretary\, Great Lakes Fishery Commission\n\nPanelists: Jon Allan\, Retired Sr. Advisor and Sr. Academic and Research Program Officer\, School for Environment and Sustainability\; Jeremy Bricker\, Associate Professor\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\; Tomas Höök\, Head/Professor Forestry & Natural Resources\, Purdue University\; Xin Shen\, PhD candidate\, Civil and Environmental Engineering\n\nYou can RSVP for the event here: https://graham.umich.edu/wateratmichigan/coffee-talks
